Should the article title be styled as the IATA name, Branded name, or the ICAO name?

• American Airlines Flight 5342 (IATA name)
  • Consistency with sources including the NTSB, NY Times, and Washington Post
  • Brand recognition of American
• American Eagle Flight 5342 (Branded name)
  • Ticketing and passenger experience
• PSA Airlines Flight 5342 (ICAO name)
  • Operational and legal accuracy

The same question applies to the recent Delta accident:

• Delta Air Lines Flight 4819
• Delta Connection Flight 4819
• Endeavor Air Flight 4819

All follow the style of <airline> Flight <flight-number> as described in the [conventions section]

Should the title be styled as the IATA name, Branded name, or the ICAO name? Zaptain United (talk) 02:34, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello,

I happened to embroil myself in a discussion about content that can be found in accident articles, namely, "Reaction" sections containing statements by public figures. I think that I do not have enough knowledge about usual practices, I would like to learn about Wikiproject aviation customs.
The current point of contention is in Air Canada Express Flight 8646 / Talk:Air Canada Express Flight 8646#Response section is getting chunky. I have the opinion that "Reaction" sections with texts stating that some politician or other public figure expresses sorrow in regards to lives lost, states that some event is tragic or vows to commit any resource necessary to the investigation is, at best, meaningless padding for technological articles and certainly not really useful. When writing about aviation accidents, the points that matter are how, when, why and how to avoid in the future.
My view stems from the guideline Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Style guide/Layout (Accidents)#Page structure, and, I admit, my repeated disappointment when encountering sentences that don't add anything significant for me to the subject "accident" and only feel like empty words.
Other editors hold the opinion that statements by major politicians have a place in such articles, especially, as worded by @Relton66 on the aforementioned Air-Canada-Express talk page, for accidents that happened in the 2020s.
I would like to learn about the stances of Wikiproject regulars about that matter. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 23:46, 31 March 2026 (UTC)
